Grow All About It
Humans have this many pairs of chromosomes.
What is 23?
This organism has one cell
What is unicellular?
All living things are made up of these.
When water moves across the cell membrane.
What is osmosis?
This enables plants to make their own food.
What are chloroplasts?
Mitosis turns a single parent cell into this many cells.
What is 2?
The reaction of an organism to the environment around it is because of this.
What is a stimulus?
This is the control center of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
These structures are contained in both plant cells and animal cells. (hint: there are 2)
What are nuclei and mitochondria?
The reason why plant cells have chloroplasts and animal cells do not.
What is to make their own food?
Mitosis takes place in these cells for growth and repair.
What are body cells?
This latin root word means the "life, living"
What is Bio?
These are the "instructions for life" found inside the nucleus
What are chromosomes.
This is the process of a cell eating.
What is Endocytosis?
This process occurs in the mitochondria and releases energy in both plant and animal cells.
What is respiration?
Meiosis turns a single parent cell into this many daughter cells.
What is 4?
The definition is: maintaining a constant internal environment.
What is homeostasis?
The function of this cell organelle is to move materials within the cell.
What is the cytoplasm?
According to the cell theory, cells from different organisms all function because of this reason.
What is they use energy?
The cells of green plants are capable of producing relatively large amounts of oxygen and simple sugars. This cell structure is necessary for most green plants to carry out these processes.
What is the Chloroplast?
A cell is not actively dividing when they are in this phase. (90% of the cell cycle)
What is interphase?
This is the order of the organization of an organism.
What is Cell, Tissue, Organ, and Organ System?
As the students ran 500 meters, they used lots of energy. This organelle was working hard in the cell to make the energy.
What is Mitochondria?
Reproduction is important to the growth of organisms because it allows an organism to do this.
What is increase its number of cells?
6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2
